I kept hearing "horror stories" about the SD reader kept failing in the original switch. Seems to be the same mechanism in this one. I don't want to take that chance.
@StarCollector Because the water effects slow it down. I made a mountain of water and had my town in it. Water coming down both sides. It slowed frame-rate down to like 10! Looked great anyway. This way, it probably offers a stable experience.
Look at all the crazy cities that some people made early on. Outside Japanese market in particular
@Dman10 It's complicated. I want Internet here, fiber optic is available. But we are living in a place that isn't mine. Technically it is. But it's part of an estate. So when it sells, we have to leave. And the install fee and early disconnect fee and yearly fee that the Fiber Optic requires, is very off-putting if we were to get it.
One will be for First Party only, the other for 3rd party games.
Dual SD slots could have fixed this! A better base storage could have fixed this. Better physical sales could have fixed this. No key cards could have fixed this.
@Olliemar28 You can't dock the Switch 2 when you first get it, it tells you you need the touchscreen to do a system setup.
So you also shouldn't be plugging power into the dock, as depending on the system transfer, you might need to plug the console in while it's doing its thing.
Can I run 2 switch 2s at the "same" time? Like, I'll have one as my main with just 1st & 2nd party games and the other will have nothing but 3rd party games.
I can be logged into both (same main account) at the same time with no issues?

I'm buying a second Switch 2.
6 months and
One will be for First Party only, the other for 3rd party games.
Dual SD slots could have fixed this!
A better base storage could have fixed this.
Better physical sales could have fixed this.
No key cards could have fixed this.

Re: Opinion: Marvel Cosmic Invasion Caps Off A Great Year To Be A Superhero Fan
The game feels a bit too claustrophobic.
The action is zoomed in too much on the characters and the environment seems really small.
